A Hour at Empire
The west end of ninth avenue is a great place to sit and watch the trains coming and going from Spokane. This is a nice shady spot to park, and you are just above Empire siding and there is a clear view of the Latah Creek Bridge. You can walk around on the hillside above the tracks to get different angles on the tracks when needed. I was there between 10 and 11am the othere day, and saw the following:
As I was pulling up to the parking spot, the S-SEACHC was already coming down to the bridge. It was followed shortly by the Z-SSECHC. Then a rail train pulled up on Empire siding to where it could see the block signals.

Shortly after the rail train came to a stop, a empty PGE coal train came up to a stop on the main while the Z-CHCSSE ventured out across the Latah Creek Bridge. It made for a nice three-way meet. The rail train left first and the coal train had to wait. Meanwhile a V-CHITAC came west.

Ted,
Great shots of the bridge. When I was working in Spokane I would sit in the parking lot of the casino at Sunrise or is it Sunshine Jct on the east end of the bridge. Next time I get to Spokane I will try and find your spot. Looked like a great day in the NW for pictures.  Shannon WP LIVES ATSF LIVES Man I miss the Northwest
